This cmdlet is used when the search functionality is configured for the first time, and to add new crawled properties after the first configuration. SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataCrawledProperty represents a crawled property in the enterprise search metadata property schema. Or, crawled properties are automatically created during regular crawls (see SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataCategory).

The type must be a valid search application name, for example, SearchApp1, or an instance of a valid SearchServiceApplication object.

VariantType

Required

System.Int32

Adds the crawled property as the specified variant type. For more information about valid values for this property, see VARIANT Type Constants (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=143322&clcid=0x409).

The type must be an integer that specifies the variant data type of the property set.

AssignmentCollection

Optional

Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

Note:

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters

IsMappedToContents

Optional

System.Boolean

Specifies that the crawled property should be mapped to managed properties. Specify true to map a crawled property to a managed property.

SiteCollection

Optional

System.Guid

Specifies that the crawled properties returned are to be within the scope of a site collection (SPSite).

The type must be a valid GUID that specifies the property set in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh.

Tenant

Optional

System.Guid

Specifies that the crawled properties returned are to be within the scope of a tenant.

The type must be a valid GUID that specifies the property set in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters
